[Bug 331619] Re: Intrepid: Thunderbird produces automatic line breaks in newly composed plain text emails

[Steffen Banhardt]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

It is the intended behaviour to wrap at approx 72-80 characters. This
has mainly historical reasons, when the standard terminal was 80
characters wide, but is also better readable. The main problem is, that
different mail agents interpret the wrapping characters differently -
that can be seen best, when text is quotet and the line gets longer than
80 characters.

But you can change this behaviour in the preferences: In Composition -- General there is the item: 
"Wrap plain text messages at [   ] characters". If you insert 0 here, thunderbird won't wrap the line before the window ends.

** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
